Transforming Information Systems And Computer Science Education With Virtualization, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Jorja Wright, Jonathan Abramson
Transforming Information Systems And Computer Science Education With Virtualization, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Jorja Wright, Jonathan Abramson
Maurice Dawson
This paper will propose an innovative method to transform information systems (IS) and computer science education on a global scale. This method will introduce the use of virtualization and cloud computing combined with open source software (OSS) in higher education. This will allow for those studying IS and computer science to work independently on projects anywhere in the world from a baseline image that has been developed with information assurance (IA) controls. Additionally, this will allow professors and course developers to deploy their own customized virtual machines (VMs) to be used with the course. These VMs will host their own …

Smart phones are becoming enriched with confidential information due to their powerful computational capabilities and attractive communications features. The Android smart phone is one of the most widely used platforms by businesses and users alike. This is partially because Android smart phones use the free, open-source Linux as the underlying operating system, which allows development of applications by any software developer. This research study aims to explore security risks associated with the use of Android smart phones and the sensitive information they contain, the researcher devised a survey questionnaire to investigate and further understand security threats targeting Android smart phones. …
Importance Of Integrating Information Technology Related Curriculum In American Inner City Schools, Jorja Wright, Maurice E. Dawson Jr.
Importance Of Integrating Information Technology Related Curriculum In American Inner City Schools, Jorja Wright, Maurice E. Dawson Jr.
Maurice Dawson
This paper examines the significance of integrating Information Technology (IT) into the inner city K - 12 educational curriculum. Educational curriculum reform is eminent due to the major breakthroughs in technology, including mobile internet, digital textbooks, and cloud computation. Currently, some educational systems are starting to utilize IT. Examples of this are seen with: Technology- based educational reform efforts such as Huntsville City Schools Laptop Initiative and Geospatial Information Technology (GIT); Software-focused initiatives such as Apple Textbook Initiative and Barnes and Noble e-book editions for Nook; finally, structured/standardized professional development workshops or courses such as the Library of Congress Teaching …
Open Source Software To Teach Technology Entrepreneurship Concepts And Practices, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Jorja Wright, Jonathan Abramson
Open Source Software To Teach Technology Entrepreneurship Concepts And Practices, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Jorja Wright, Jonathan Abramson
Maurice Dawson
Open source software (OSS) in academia can have multiple types of implementations and positive returns. This paper explores the use of OSS as a method to teach entrepreneurship concepts and practices to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors. OSS allows for individuals to contribute and provide support services for applications. This will allow students to gain expertise in low level design, software project management, and software consulting services in order to successfully deploy their own spin off company. Covered in this submission will be examples of how the Linux software project development groups, mobile application development, video game design, …

Dod Cyber Technology Policies To Secure Automated Information Systems, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Miguel Crespo, Stephen Brewster
Maurice Dawson
Availability, integrity, and confidentiality (AIC) is a key theme everywhere as cyber security has become more than an emerging topic. The Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented multiple processes such as the Department of Defense information assurance certification and accreditation process (DIACAP), common criteria (CC), and created proven baselines to include information assurance (IA) controls to protect information system (IS) resources. The aim of this research study shall provide insight to the applicable processes, IA controls, and standards to include providing a method for selecting necessary government models and for system development.
